from http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2006-April/046786.html :

"Alexandre has very specific ideas about how he wants a DIB Engine done.

"Integrating a DIB engine into your own tree may not be too difficult. 
The hard part is integrating it into the Wine tree in small pieces 
without breaking everything else and keeping Alexandre happy as you go."

from WWN :

Huw Davis :

"I'm going to stop working on this for a while....."
and
"I'm not planning on doing any work on it for a while, but will probably return
to it at some point in the future. "

Well, sorry but it seems to me that what you just said is exactly the opposite
as the true situation.
